Most of the people that I see opposing this law are against it because they think racial profiling will be used in its enforcement. What none of them seem to get is that racial profiling in and of itself is illegal! This AZ bill reinforces that on page 6 and page 10. Direct quote -

"The attorney general or county attorney shall not investigate complaints that are based solely on race, color or national origin."

In fact, they've indicated that they knew that this debate would be sparked, and they took extra measures to ensure that profiling would not be tolerated. Thanks for pointing that out.

No, we get it. However, this new law codifies racial profiling because it does not provide any legal definitions as to probable cause regarding a person's citizenship status. It's soft-racism without the dignity to call itself what it is.

No, you don't get it. Racial profiling is illegal in every sense with respect to this topic. Probable cause is derived and defined at the federal level all the way back to the fourth amendment of the Constitution. The AZ bill/law is an extension of the preexisting federal laws. It does not and cannot make the provisions of the Constitution and federal law null and void.

EXACTLY! Without evidence, there is no conviction. Therefore, no fear of it either if one does not do anything wrong. You probably didn't even realize that you yourself helped prove the point that opposing the AZ bill/law is moot.
